I have installed this on my Kindle Fire rooted currently running ICS and everything is flawless, the only problem is I couldn't connect via

USB for a data transfer and etc. I had to reboot first. But otherwise, fantastic job!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] collindv:
Ok, fixed this issue by editing the script. Anywhere it said losetup I added busybox in front and it worked like a charm!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] furtom:
exellent!

I didn't test 12.04 yet, but the previous version really works! Even synaptic is working as it should. Wow.

Two things off the top of my head:

1. It's a bit awkward dealing with a 500M zip file, unzipping to 2.5G! As a suggestion, there is a linux installer (which I couldn't get to work) that creates the loop file and then installs the distro onto it. This might be an easier way to go.

2. I'm beginning to wish for unity, believe it or not! It's a bit awkward dealing with a PC DE on a touch tab, but I could get it to work.

In any case, I've taken a few stabs at trying to get debian/ubuntu running and yours is the first one that actually worked! I'm sure I could have eventually solved the other issues, but yours was issue free.

Thanks so much for your great work!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] furtom:
Display manager?

Re: Version 5: Is it possible to get the script to start a display manager instead of lxde? That way I could install another DE.

I've been nosing around the ubuntu.sh and the /root/init.sh, but I haven't yet found what I'm looking for. I'm sure it's in the init scripts then, but I'd have to research it.

Any advice would be appreciated.

the desktop used is controlled via another script in root/.vnc/xstartup this files controls what tightvnc uses, for more info on how to use another google it :)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] furtom:
That was enough of a clue to get me going. Thanks!

Great stuff!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] furtom:
FYI, I've been unable to get the 232012 img working on the kf (with V6 script).

this may be a vnc related problem. The system boots up, x starts and I can see the desktop, but no input is available. When I try to change the input to touchpad, that option is grayed out and not selectable.

Also, the screen resolution seems to be set at 800x480 and no way to change. vnc can strech image to fit screen, but that's all I could find.

I know this is beta, just testing as asked!

I wonder if I go back to V5 script that would fix these issues? At least perhaps the resolution?

In any case, I am now downloading 250212. Will report back on how that one runs.

Thanks!

sorted I used the large file and had to delete allmost everything on sdcard to get it to fit. lol

worked perfect though:-)

I've just deleted it and now downloading the small one.

should give me the missing space i need.

great job:-)

ill keep you posted on any bugs.

have you tried extracting the ubuntu script to the same folder as the img /sdcard/ubuntu ?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] furtom:
Well, you can't cd into ubuntu.sh, that's a file, not a directory.

You need to cd into the directory with

cd /sdcard/ubuntu/

(assuming that's where you put the files), and then execute with

sh ubuntu.sh

or you can do it all with one command:

sh /sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.sh

if you prefer.

No can do on screenshot. The settings are exact per instruct in app.

Working :D

I got it working without any issues.

this is what I've done so far with my kindle fire:

-Stock KF 6.2.2

-Rooted with Kindlewater http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1511757

-Installed Android Market (now Play Store) with this: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1417234

then i followed the steps in the app provided (the free one).

the script is the V6 and the image was the small one, thus far everything working perfectly.

Now I'm downloading the larger image...

Edit:

Downloaded the large image and didn't work.

It's driving me insane!!!!! Its the most idiotic impractical keyboard ever made! For one eveykeyboard has the numbers on the left side and its hard to type in it. Tried switching it but it will just switch back by itself.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
dont know what your talking about really, ive switched mine and its never defaulted back on its own. the keyboard is quite nice and with the arrows added, its near perfect. anyways, im thinking your issue is a not so well programed keyboard that is being killed in the task manager. if you were to delete the HTC keyboard and continue using the keyboard, you might end up without a keyboard at moments.

try going to keyboard settings and make sure its enabled in there also.

if you really want to delete the HTC keyboard, use root explorer, and delete 'HTC_IME.apk' and possibly 'HTC_IME.odex.'

Good luck!

Just got this case in the mail yesterday. What a thing of beauty it is. Definitely worth checking out, but it is a bit more expensive than most other cases you can find. The fit is just perfect, the construction amazingly strong. Looks exactly like a Moleskine notebook.

[Kindle Fire Accessories] jmerchant:
Just curious what would make this one worth the extra over the dodo case? It looks fairly similar but more expensive.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] ianh2o:
Looks like this one is leather. Too bad I already have a dodo on order. The looks nice.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] captaincanada84:
It is similar to the Dodo case, but is italian leather, instead of cloth. Also, the frame is Baltic Birch, instead of bamboo. So, the materials are of a higher quality than the Dodo case.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derrian:
Not quite sure what is responsible, but it seems an app that I've installed is placing ****ty ad links into my bloody status bar.

Has anyone else come across this? And is there any way I can find out which app is causing it?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nthknd:
yep

Check for an app call airpush detection its free in the market. Those ads come from a app you download for free in the market, they have spam ads attached to them. The app that was causing the problem for me was music download. These spam ads are also putting search widgets on your home screen. Just google air push ads to get more info on it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derrian:
Nice one, cheers mate. I'm all for devs putting some adds into their apps, but pushing them to my status bar when the app isn't even running? that's going too far.

Turns out it was a golauncher theme.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] inpherknow:
I'm running 2.3.6 rooted stock with bullet kernel.

Out of the blue, opera mobile will not play flash videos such as those on YouTube when they are embedded. Prior to yesterday, I was able to watch embedded flash videos.without a problem on opera. Since last night, attempting to play embedded videos results in the youtube player launching, and getting a network error 400, which occurs on both wifi and 4G.

So far, ive cleared data and cache, and uninstalled and reinstalled both flash and opera. ive also ran fixed permissions in cwm and rom manager. This is only a temporary solution, as once I close the browser the same problems occur. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there something I need to change?

Ive included pictures of what ive described.

I was thinking of posting this in the Lumia 800 forum, but this one seems to have more activity...

I just got one of these bad boys from Nokia, wrote a quick app in Visual Studio and it told me to sign up to the AppHub before I can debug. I'm not rolling in cash so I can't afford the £65 to sign up. (Android user here, so that's a wtf for me)

Did a quick Google and found ChevronWP. Awesome, only £6.50 (or so). But they're "sold out".

Any alternatives for letting me put debug some code? I'm not looking for anything like marketplace support and to be quite honest, the £65 for that is quite off putting.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagash91:
Well, I fixed my old broken G1 with new screen, touchscreen panel, case and keyboard.

Now I have 2 issue:

1) Sometimes my touchscreen goes grazy!! If I use the touch test application I see that sometimes when I touch the screen in an area there is another virtual touch in another zone of the screen. I read that it can depend from the current source when I charge the phone.. but I'm going crazy!! I opened my phone 10 times (I thought there was a problem in the cable that link TouchPanel to LCDPanel, because when I lock the cable with the clip it tends anyway to go out from the connector, now I put some scotch tape to fix but the problem is here.. so I think is another problem).

2) My volume rocker doesn't work!!

I bought 2 new keyboard to fix this problem, but no one of that fixed the problem. I thought the first new keyboard had volume keys broken, so I bought another one, but the problem persists!!

Now the Touch problem rarely happens, but the volume rocker is completely unusable..

Someone have experience about G1 assembling/repairing ?

Thanks and sorry for bad english :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
if you have put in multiple keypads have the same issue i would assume that it is the connection going to the motherboard. just a guess there but its either that or you have had a bunch of faulty keyboards.

only other thing would be a software problem

does the keypad work in recovery (let you go up down throughout the list) ?

as for the touch screen, probably need a new digitizer or flex cable, both are cheap and it sounds like you have the knowhow to replace them.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagash91:
Ok, but digitizer is new!! :D screen also is new, and I have bought a total of 4 flex cable because I see that they are fragile (I broke the first I bought).

I tried to change flex cable but the problem remain the same.

The only thing that can be damaged is the LCD cable that links to the flex cable: it has a small cut where the cable have a curve, but the cut don't reaches the contacts (the cable is transparent). I also use some glue and scotch tape to mantein lock the cable.

The digitizer cable is connected to the LCD cable, and then they go to the flex cable that connect them to the motherboard.

The strange thing is that seems a software issue, because if I turn off and than turn on the screen, the problem is fixed for some seconds, minutes and sometimes hours... :confused:

Another strange thing is the possibility to control the screen with some metal objects from the moment that the virtual touch problem appear (I can control the screen also without touch it, with hand and piece of metal)

[YOUTUBE]watch?v=qHn93bqG7ss[/YOUTUBE]
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
have you tried a factory reset if you think it may be a software issue? if that dosent work you can try install a whole new rom.

really it sounds like it isnt the hardware since you appear to know what youre doing. i have a had a few phones that had screen (digitizer) issues and a new rom flashed cured it just fine

since you dont mind putting a few dollars into it, and your familiar with the inside, you can always try to pick up a cheap motherboard or spare phone from ebay or what have you, then swap the motherboard and you could then hopefully find out if it is the hardware or software
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Huh sounds like you got a cheap digitizer than. Most good digitizers use heat to touch. If it's literally touch, then sounds like its a fake/meh digitizer. i hate the digitizers that aren't heat, but press. I see them all the time in those first samsuck touchscreen phones. And they usually die in a bit. I had a Samsung behold with a screwed up digitizer
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagash91:
Yes I flashed 3 or 4 roms after a wipe (I tried also super-wipe.zip), but the problem is here..

The digitizer works well some times, but sometimes get crazy (you can see in the video).

I don't that my new digitizer is fake, but I really don't know!

BTW I'm trying to repair my phone for fun (now I have desire z) and because I am fascinated by my old G1.

PS:

I see another strange issue--

If I touch the screen when the phone is on a table the screen digitizer is not very sensitive and can't take input from fingertips.

If I touch the screen when the phone is in my other hand, the screen digitizer is a lot more sensitive and it take input from fingertips.

My impression is that there is an electric field or something similar that disturbs the digitizer, and when I take the phone in my hand I discharge that field to ground. Also when I turn off the screen, seems that the electric field discharge so when I turn on the screen is ok, but after some seconds the field returns to disturbs the screen.

I really don't know, but is the impression that I have.. something that is not shielded.

Now I'll try to use my phone in airplain mode.
